ROUTING AUDIO AND CV67
• Connectors may be labelled "Gate".
A Gate signal is a CV signal that goes from zero to an "on" value and eventually back to zero again. They are used
for playing notes, triggering envelopes and more.
• Instrument devices often have a "Note" CV input, along with a "Gate" input.
These are used in tandem, to play the instrument from a CV source such as the Matrix rack sequencer. The Gate
signal will determine when notes start and stop, while the Note CV signal will set the pitch of the played notes.
About CV Trim knobs
Most CV inputs have an associated Trim knob. This is used to set the CV "sensitivity" when modulating a parameter.
The further clockwise a CV trim knob is set, the more pronounced the modulation effect.
• Turned fully clockwise, the modulation range will be 100% of the parameter range.
• Turned fully anti-clockwise, no CV modulation will be applied.
About MIDI routing
MIDI signals (notes and controllers such as pitch bend, mod wheel etc) are not represented by cables in Reason
Rack Plugin. Normally, all devices that use MIDI notes and performance controllers will automatically receive them
from the DAW host.
• To decide exactly which devices should receive MIDI notes, put them in a Combinator and use the "Receive
Notes" setting in the Combi Programmer section for each device. See “Using the Programmer”.
• If a Player is added to an Instrument device, MIDI notes will go to the Player instead of the instrument.
The Player may pass on the notes, transform them or generate new notes, depending on the Player type and set-
tings.
• You can also control individual parameters with MIDI controller messages (e.g. if you have a MIDI keyboard
with knobs and faders).
Manual routing
There are two ways to manually connect an output jack to an input jack (or vice versa):
Dragging cables
1. Click the jack, and keep the mouse button pressed.
A cable appears.
2. Drag the cable to the other jack.
When you're over a jack of the correct type, it lights up.
3. Release the mouse button.
The cable is connected (replacing the existing connection there, if any). If you dragged from the left jack in a ste-
reo pair, the right will automatically be connected as well.
D To change a connection, click and hold the jack to grab the cable. Then drag it to another jack.
D To disconnect a cable, click the jack at either end to grab the cable and drop it away from any jack.
